at a local dollar general I bought a paint-an-ornament kit for its translucent paints: These are pics of the results. I used a spare Leia figure for the test... I spray painted the hair and body silver, then painted over the silver with the translucent red, and wound up with iridescent red hair and bathing suit. I did a similar thing with a helix fig I bought, I didn't like the gray and black hair so I painted yellow over it to turn her hair blonde like the pic on the package. As for the leia fig, I'm going to use it as customizing fodder.

I like the look of that stuff. Used in the right spots it could be really awesome.

I figured if these paints could stick to the plastic ornaments, then it would also stick to a figure as well. And it does. these are pics of the helix head I repainted... the hair was originally grey and black and the yellow paint stuck very well, turning it blonde.
